Amelia Earhart
1928: Amelia Earhart With Airplane
Five years after Charles Lindbergh’s trans-Atlantic flight, Amelia Earhart became the second person to make the voyage. She was also the first woman to attempt the journey, flying from Newfoundland, Canada, to Londonderry in Northern Ireland. In 1937, just five years after her historic journey, the intrepid aviator disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to fly around the world. Her plane was never found, and the mystery continues to intrigue history and aviation fans. In this photo from Getty Images, Earhart poses in front of her biplane. 🛩🛩
Known for many early aviation records, including first woman to fly solo across Atlantic ocean.
Declared dead in absentia; 5th January 1939 (age 41).🕯🕯💐💐

Photo by @thomaspeschak | What was supposed to be a easy photograph turned out to be one of the hardest shots. The “classic” fish-in-a-puffin’s-beak image eluded me for almost a month, until I visited a puffin colony just north of the Arctic Circle. The North Atlantic began to warm dramatically in the late 1990s, and in some places sea temperatures have increased by as much as two degrees Celsius. Some of the puffin’s favorite prey, including sand eels, prefer colder water and have shifted their range further to the north. Now out of reach of many of the region’s largest Atlantic puffin colonies, this lack of fish often results in chicks starving to death before the parents can return to the burrow with food. Fortunately, the youngster provisioned by the puffin in this photograph has a better chance of survival.
